Artist's Description

But we learn to stand after falling on our knees.From fresh new sprouts we become trees.

As mentioned in Wish I’ve had a string of misfortune this year. One of the misfortunes was losing a collection of my origami which fell out of my knapsack one very hectic day at school, and later in the evening the custodians mistook it for garbage and threw it away. It was not too long after that incident that along with Freedom, I made Timeline; a piece big enough to appreciate in real life, but still have the quality of the miniature folding in it.

This is sort of like Fly except each cranes is a different size, gradually getting smaller and whiter from one end to the other. I did a graded shade on a sheet of trace paper before cutting squares from them. It took me a while to come up with a way to photograph this. I didn’t want it to be another Fly, and eventually I got this result. While the smallest crane (which was from a square measuring 5×5mm) is out of focus, I think it is understandable what is happening…

And thank you to everyone who left me encouraging comments on Wish and who have prayed for me. Of all the years I have lived, this one has been the roughest; my family and I have been going through a lot of strife this year. Life is a long journey and not an easy one.

Thank you so much Vickie. Well as I mention in the description, things have begun looking up after posting ‘Wish’, though there are still things that I am tending to. I’m hoping for a great improvement with the remainder of this year and the upcoming one.

AW Hun..I know that upset you…you have such beautiful art time in them for them not to see it is sad…love your work my friend hugggggggz

Thank you Big-Keg. Previously my origami was more appreciated through photography than real life, and my work is somewhat more about the photography than the pieces themselves. I folded this after the incident where my collection was mistaken for garbage and got thrown away by the custodians. So I was inspired to make something that would be appreciated in real life than through photo. It seemed that made it harder to make a nice photo though and I was struggling with this one for some time so I’m glad you like it.
